Huh. I've always liked PF Chang's. Haven't eaten there in ages though. It's no Mr. K's but it knocks the pants off Panda Express.
Red Lobster - meh. I don't hate it, I'd certainly eat there on a gift card as I am rather fond of fish n' chips (which IS doused in a tartar sauce), and I LURVE their cheesy biscuits, and their clam chowder doesn't suck. On my own dime I'd probably only eat there at someone else's suggestion. Last time I was there I think it was a Mensa lunch or something of that nature (the same people who somehow get me out to the Spaghetti Factory, Mimi's, and a few good hole-in-the-wall places).
There's a great Thai chain called Thai Bite near my office that has awesome food, literally awesome. Okay, not "Toi" awesome, but pretty darn awesome.
And I don't care if it's authentic or not, I love me some Macaroni Grill.
Consider me the chain-loving repository of unwanted gift cards
